Projects While on the Hard

Just bought boat. The yard is doing a bottom job and rudder pintles but has run into a delay due to scheduling. The boat will be on the hard for two weeks. What additional projects can I accomplish during this period? Replace through-hulls, if needed, but what else should I be looking at?
Survey didn't really point out any additional areas.
Your thoughts?
Thanks

I usually detail/polish the hull. It so much easier on the hard than at the dock.

Re: Projects While on the Hard

well, what kind of boat?

Perhaps pull the shaft and have it checked for true. Have the prop tuned up. Replace cutless bearing. R&R seacocks.
